The Shef

I deliver engaging and interactive motivational and sales related programs that are packed with massive amounts of "take-away" value!
If you are looking to motivate your audience, kick off your sales meeting, or are rewarding your top performers with an incentive trip; I will custom-tailor the perfect program for your group.

I prefer to interview a few people who will be in attendance prior to the event (in addition to preparation calls with the event planner). This creates an additional "buy in" for the audience.

I write for a variety of publications, and can provide you with article content for your newsletters and promotional materials.

Your audience will receive a pat on the back, a kick in the butt, and will have their passions ignited to take immediate action!

Convention and meeting audiences love my custom-tailored motivational programs that I've been delivering since 2001.

More than 562,000 people from 58 different countries have realized the positive results of taking action on what they've discovered in my keynotes and workshops.

Whether you are motivating a sales team, dealing with change and difficult people, or simply need to stay motivated during stressful situations; I will provide the necessary ingredients for your event's success.

In addition to his high energy motivational speaking programs, I am a contributing author of five books which have sold in excess of 70,000 copies worldwide!

Shef is frequently invited to motivate business audiences at conventions, regional meetings, workshops, and conferences because his motivating programs are the "shot in the arm" that your audience is begging for.
